Stop using Thermos Stainless King containers

Thermos food jars and bottles with certain model numbers can build up pressure when storing food or drinks for extended periods. When opened, the stopper may forcefully pop out and strike the user's face or eyes, causing serious cuts and injuries. Thermos has received 27 injury reports, including three cases of permanent vision loss.

  • Check the bottom of your Thermos container for model numbers SK3000, SK3020, or SK3010 manufactured before July 2023
  • Stop using the container immediately if you have one of these models
  • Contact Thermos for a free replacement stopper (SK3000/SK3020) or full replacement bottle (SK3010)
  • For SK3000/SK3020: dispose of the stopper and send Thermos a photo; for SK3010: return the bottle using a prepaid label
